Would laser liposuction be possible and / or beneficial to help with water retention?

Question

I have some fat - but mostly water weight - around my midsection which I cannot get rid of, due to being on testosterone therapy . I work out 5 days a week, am very fit everywhere else, and drink tons of water along with eating healthily.

Going the last mile is what hi def liposuction is all about.  We treat a number of competitive athletes and fitness models who want to shed that last bit of fat.  I recommend you do your research and find a HiDefinition expert in your area.

This requires a procedure to define and sculpt not just remove fat.  Energy based and water based devices help to remove fat gently but also tighten skin and improve contour.  You need a consultation with someone experienced in defining type procedures so you do not get irregularities.  A formal in person examination would be necessary. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for the question, this is an interesting case and I would like got physically exam you as well as speak to the doctor putting you on testosterone to put together a situation that you could potentially have liposuction down safely to address your areas of concern

Vincent D. Lepore, MD (retired) · Answer

Laser liposuction should help remove fat around the midsection in most cases.  If you have a medical condition that results in tissue edema (water retention), any type of liposution will tend to be less effective.  Check with your doctor to see if liposuction would be advisable in your case.
